Eric Jacobson

[Splurge]

Where can I find a pic of him?

[scarecroe]

At ToughPigs:

http://toughpigs.com/extrachristmascast.htm

and...

http://www.sagecraft.com/puppetry/reviews/Galileo.html

and you can see him with long hair in the A&E Sesame Biography (which is available for purchase on VHS (http://store.aetv.com/html/catalog/vp01.jhtml?id=21593) and DVD (http://store.aetv.com/html/catalog/vp01.jhtml?id=70669))...

I like that look of Jacobson with long hair. It almost looks like Frank when he had long hair around the pre-1969 muppet days.

No, you have to 'third' that because I was first to ask where behind the scenes pics come from!!

Finally, I'm FIRST at something (but I'll STILL be the LAST to know!)

But scarecroe never said that he seconded it! So there! :p


-Kim

[Fozzie Bear]

I didn't think of that. Hmm...so, Croe, looks like you got to be third in line to get that information, huh? Or, at least second since I'll get last even though I was first to ask. Likely, Skeeter will see it first, then you, then me.

Why do I always bring up the rear?

[scarecroe]

It doesn't look like *anyone's* going to get the information as Ryan is keeping quiet on the issue.

All I know is I wanna see more photos like that.

[Ryan]

pssst! "I'll neeever teeeee-eeeell!" :D I may have a few more, I'll look.

[Fozzie Bear]

:mad:

I'll remember all this when I'm ruler of the world on day, Ryan!!

:rolleyes:

[Ryan]

Heh He....when the meek inherit the earth, eh? (J/K, bud!) :D

[Traveling Matt]

Kewl pic, Ryan. But who is the person with Robin the Frog on their arm? It looks like a woman.

- Billy :cool:

[Ryan]

Yup. That's Alice Dinnean.

[Ryan]

I'll have one for ya tomorrow. She can be found in the Behind the Scenes mocumentary in KSY.

[scarecroe]

Okay, so now we know what Eric Jacobson looks like. A few months ago, he wasn't even getting credit for his work. Now that he's getting recognized publicly, when are we going to read out first interview with him? What else has he done with Henson? What's his background? Does he like muffins?

[sarah_yzma]

well i hope he does some interviews! he seems like a very interesting guy maybe he'll be more public than Bill Baretta......whom i cannot find any interviews with!!!!! dangit! oh well i sure hope he likes muffins:D

[Muppetfreak]

you are all weirdos!

[Fozzie Bear]

Why, Thank you!! :D

I wonder if he likes envelopes, too?

[Muppetfreak]

**** right I am a freak!

[Cantus Rock]

Sorry to ruin this brilliantly muffined thread, but I had a question: Croe, do you know what ever happened to Galileo's Telescope? I mean the article that included that picture is from 1999, and I haven't heard anything about the project (though I am admittedly not a puppetry buff, just Muppets..). Can you give me any info, it seemed like something interesting.

Sarah

[Cantus Rock]

Honestly, I love the way threads trail off into silliness around here (that is, should the be left untainted) :D!! But, I did have a "serious" question, for which I apologize (lol) :)

-Matt

Now, let's continue w/the muffin fight!!!
(I toss a muffin at Sarah and run away giggling....)

[sarah_yzma]

*takes her MUFFINEXPress and aims at Manda*

take that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah take that

Sarah

[Muppetfreak]

*ducks flying muffins*

Has anyone suceeded in getting an answer via mail or fanmail@henson from his hotness? Or an autograph?

[Manda:-D]

*Takes giant muffin and shoots it out of a cannon at Sarah*
EAT THIS!!!!! I mean.....Ummmm.......

[muppettheatre]

Sorry to burst some of your guy's bubbles but the guy with long hair in those pictures is actually Steve Whitmire who performs Kermit, Rizzo, Ernie, .... Eric is the one with shorted hair who is performing Bert in those pictures.

As for muffins I don't know if Eric likes them. He is a picky eater and I know for a fact that he likes his salad "naked" (sans dressing):o

[Daylight]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm fairly sure all of the people in this thread recognized Steve and knew the other guy was Eric. They were refering to him as having longer hair than in his other pics not as having the longest hair that being Steve.


All these silly people with their muffins and envelopes!

[Manda:-D]

"Silly people with their musffins and envelopes"....Hahahahahahaha!!! For some reason.....That just made me laugh!!!
ENJOY the sillyness, Daylight!!! EMBRACE it!!! It's what makes life FUN!!!! :D (And....INSANE, but that's beside the point!)
Or is THIS <--- beside the point??? (Hehehehehehe....It's dumb, I know! But it made me laugh!)

[muppettheatre]

Daylight- I was just saying it in case there was any confusion, because I know of one person who thought that Steve was Eric based on that post, and I just wanted to make sure no one else made the same error. I guess that I also don't think of his hair there as being long, because it's about the same length as its been the entire time I've known him.

[Daylight]

muppettheatre

Okey dokey. I understand. It could be a bit confusing. So how do you know Eric and what's he like?

[muppettheatre]

I know Eric from interning with JHC on Sesame Street, he's super nice, and definately a lot more reserved than the other puppetteers. There's really nothing bad you can say about him, he's a great person to know. :)

[sarah_yzma]

someday i am going to meet all the muppet performers....

whenever my parents agree to buying me a ticket.....

ARGGGHHHH

Sarah:mad:.....:)

i can't stay mad

*throws a muffin*

*eats a muffin*

OOOH chocolate chip!

[muppettheatre]

There are still so many more that I want to meet, such as Frank Oz, and Bill Baratta, and Dave Golez, and ... I've only met the one's who work on Sesame Street and a couple others:excited:

[sarah_yzma]

i'm still jealous!

Sarah

[Lynnette]

So, what does an intern do there? What was the best thing you learned?

-Lynnette

[Manda:-D]

I wouldn't share w/EVERYONE that you know Bill Barretta, muppettheatre!!! Otherwise, Emmy and Jackie will be attacking you going, "WHAT DO YOU KNOW???? :D they get a lil' crazed when it comes to their Bill.....

[muppettheatre]

Most Henson interns don't get to work on set on productions, they tend to work in other departments, I was fortunate enough to intern with the workshop and I got to frequently be on-set (of SS) helping out, I also built a couple of the props and costumes used on the show, and I even built my own small muppet that I got to keep. My favorite part though was playing with the puppets, which I wouldn't have really been able to do if not in the workshop. The SS interns tended to work both doing paperwork and such as well as being on-set occassionally (I think I had it better off. ;) ) It's a fun experience that I recomend to anyone, it's a time that I'll probably never forget, and I've made friends with some of the puppeteers so I still get a little bit of the inside info. Everyone is so wonderful too, one of my last days I started crying because I knew it was all going to end soon:cry: and Kevin Clash came up to me and gave me a hug and told me that I was going to be back, he was right I've been back to visit a couple times.
To recap: EVERYONE WHO CAN SHOULD TRY TO INTERN!!!!!!:excited: IT'S THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME:)

Actually, he's one of the few I DON'T know, but I'd like to. I do know Pepe though!

[sarah_yzma]

*wondering how you know pepe and not bill*

oh well i was just listening to Santa Baby from the christmas special (thank you scarecroe) and i CANNOT get over how GREAT AND ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS eric sounds....i think i like piggy's singing voice better with him doing it........it sounds more professional almost.....i was watching MM and frank's tended to crack a lot....(which you can't blame him much i mean a guy doing a female pig) but when i heard eric i just flipped! talking he's got it abot 95% i mean for a pretty much first project i thought it was great! fozzie was about 90% accurate throughout the film...see frank had this nasal thing going with fozzie, and eric doesn't and i actually think that i might like eric more! i've never had frank as my favorite so maybe i'm being partial, but he was the PERFECT replacement! that's just my thoughts this late at night.

[Muppetfreak]

Sadly that is that whole, you need to be a student to intern thing. . . Which leaves most of us out. . . .

[muppetfreak12]

this has really nothing to do with this thread, but Muppetfreak, WE HAVE VERY SIMILAR NAMES!!! (That's so cool.)

[Muppetfreak]

Ah but you have numbers after yours which sadly means that I am cooler......

;-)
